Default What's the weather like back in Perth?

Well I'm missing the 993 back in Perth Australia too much and it's been two years since I drove the 993 so I'm heading back in a few weeks for a two week break.

Been told the weather is horrendous recently which bodes well for my timing. If weather holds out I look forward twosome great times with the 993!

I can't wait!!!

It's stored and trickle charged. I know... Not exactly the best for the car for sure Had the car stored and used like this since 2005 and only had the valve covers changed 2 years back... The cars been very patient with me

Gee.

Do you change the fuel before cranking her up after hibernation?

Couldn't work out why the bad weather was good timing for you.
I've just come back from a squirt in rainy Melbourne in my C4.
Now I remember.

No problems with flat spotted tires? Assuming all other usual storage prep was done properly (and I'm sure it was) that would be my concern.

Car is sitting on spare storage wheels and tires mate, car gets put back onto the original rims for proper driving...
